OSEA Voices
Disapproval of
Wage Freeze
The Oregon State Kmployes As
sociation Wednesday voiced dis
approval of what it called a plan
to freeze certain state salaries un
til Sept. 1. The freeze reportedly
would apply to certain positions
where raises have been recom
mended by the Civil Service Com
mission. The proposal to freeze salaries
was said to have been made by
the Budget Division so it can fully
appraise ability of the budget to
cover salary adjustments.
James Daniels, executive secre
tary of the OSF.A, said his organ
ization felt that if the freeze car
ries to Sept. 1, raises should be
made retroactive to time when
Civil Service Commission recom
mendations were made.
Critical Positions
Recommendations came from
studies made of critical positions
in state departments where salary
inequities are most apparent.
Results of surveys being taken
will show salary needs and how
well equipped is the budget to
handle adjustments. A report will
go to a legislative committee on
Dec. 1 in line with an act passed
at the last legislature.
"I'nless we can offer salaries
conducive to attracting and re
taining . competent personnel our
state -department efficiency will
suffer," said Daniels.
Survey Taken
Charles Terry, director of the
Slate Civil Service Department,
said the survey now heins takpn
Applied particularly to positions
in which salary inequities were
most noticeable, such as welfare
and library departments.
High turnover because of insuf
ficient salaries has been a peren
nial problem for the stale. High
way engineers and the Higher
Kducatinn department, with par
ticular reference to college profes
sors, were listed as olher cate
gories in particular need of salary
adjustments.
Daniels, whose OSEA, is also
taking part in the survey, declared
there will be no forgotten man in
state service. His organization's
general committee and chapter
sub-committees are reported as
progressing to the point of turn
ing over findings to Civil Service
in the near future.
Recommendations for the legis
lature will come from the data
supplied.
At a Wednesday meeting the
Civil Service Commission granted
several routine departmental re
quests, for salary increases.

"I don't think a high federal

The governor who is seeking
